There was something fishy about the dozens and dozens of coconut doughnuts delivered this week to the campus police at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Everyone knows cops love doughnuts. “We call them energy rings around here,” said police spokesman Marc Lovicott. But coconut? “That raised some red flags,” he said. “Who does that? It seemed kind of bizarre.” So he got in touch with the doughnut shop, which told him they needed to order extra ingredients to fill the order for 20 dozen doughnuts. The shop gave him an email address for the person who sent them—a man who Mr. Lovicott said had been ejected by campus police from last Saturday’s Wisconsin-Northwestern football game.
